Monal Restaurant sealed on IHC orders while netizens trend #SaveMonal on Twitter
Monal Restaurant has been sealed on IHC orders on Tuesday.
Following the Islamabad High Court orders, Monal was sealed by the Assistant Commissioner (AC) Rana Musa.
As being reported, the major entry and exit routes of Monal were closed.
While the families present at the venue were given a few hours to evacuate the restaurant before sealing.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) directed the Islamabad chief commissioner and the Capital Development Authority (CDA) on Tuesday to seal off Monal Restaurant immediately and take over the navy’s golf course.
The orders were issued by Chief Justice Athar Minallah while hearing a case of encroachment in Margall Hills National Park.
The chief justice questioned the status of the Monal, saying “How it was built, it should not have been constructed.’
“It should be sealed if the lease of Monal has lapsed,” the chief justice said.
While the authorities fulfilled the court orders, netizens flock to Twitter trending #SaveMonal on the same day.
